Here's another bright card. I don't start out to make bright cards, but they tend to end up that way. I guess I just like bright colors and bright papers. This little cutie is called Teddy Snuggles by Di's Digi Downloads.

Back again today with a card. This is a cute little stamp from Sarah Kay. This is one of the first stamps that I got. So, it's an oldie but a goodie. This is Lynette Collecting her Vegetables. She has been gardening up a storm and now reaping the rewards. I just love fresh vegetables myself. They taste so much better than what you buy in the store.

Wow! I finally got to make a card again. I have been so busy lately that I'm having a hard time finding time to craft. My son is getting married in two weeks, we are doing some improvements to our rent house, so our new renter can move in May 1, and I have been down to my Mom's last week to take her to the doctor. But, I'm making time today. Tomorrow is already taken by my son and his fiance.

On to my card. This is a card for my Mom's birthday. She will be 90. And she still lives alone and is in good health for her age. I love butterflies. They are so dainty and fragile looking, but so beautiful.

Recipe:
Cardstock - CS is Bazzill and DP is K and Company. The oval white piece is from my stash.
Die Cuts - Butterfly is Marianne Designs, Beaded Oval and Oval is Spellbinders

What a dreary day here today. But, it's a great day for crafting. Today I made a card with another one of Di's Digi Downloads. They are so cute. This one is of course Duckling Parade. I used lots of die cuts on this one and I did a little paper piecing too. My sketch is from Creative Craft Challenge.

Good afternoon everyone! I had fun today making this card. Pile It On Challenge called for Create a Scene. So this is my scene. I used several different stamps and die cuts and I thought it turned out rather well. My main character is Pinwheel Fun from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps. I just got her and had to try her out. And I thought she would make a great centerpiece for my scene.

Happy April 1st. I hope you haven't had too many April Fool's jokes pulled on you. I have a friend that pulled a good one on me last year and you would think that I wouldn't fall for anything from her this year. But, fell for it again. Oh well, I guess I'm hopeless.

Today I have a elegant fairy. At least she is that to me as Crafts and Me Challenge is for an elegant fairy. This is Teen Fairy Mia by Mo Manning. She is just gorgeous.

About Me

I have always been crafty. I started out with sewing, then embroidery, cross-stitch, and jewelry making.
